Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

Li Mu dismounted when he was far away, and strode towards Li Tai who was standing at the door of the manor to greet him, with his hands clasped in fists and a look of joy on his face.

"Mr. Lang, you are so arrogant and hard to find! I went to the administrative office and was told that I had returned to the city. When I went into the city to visit Captain Gao, I found out that I was living in the countryside. After wandering around a few places, I finally caught up with him!"

As he approached, Li Mu expressed his attitude towards Li Tai in his attentive visit during the past two days in a complaining tone.

After hearing this, Li Tai smiled and said: "It is true that these days have been a bit busy and the whereabouts are uncertain. If Mr. Wu An wants to meet, the envoy can just tell him, why bother?"

"That's too rude. The servant is humble and clumsy. How can I express my gratitude?"

Li Mu hurriedly shook his head and said, and then bowed to Li Taishen: "My lord, I have told you before. I am surprised and ashamed. What I am happy about is not only that I have been awarded the important position, but also that my husband regards me as a worthy person." A good friend and confidant who works together! I used to show myself to be a husband who was clumsy and arrogant, but I always regret it..."

"Wu'an Gongang Tibetan husband, if you are still only obsessed with the past, then I will also regret recommending someone who is not good! Preface: Helping each other and prospering together in the world, I also often warn myself, so when the Lord asked, even though I thought of it Mr. Wu An, his words and reasoning are very profound, and he will be able to deal with matters in a practical way."

Seeing that Li Mu wanted to bring up old matters again, Li Tai waved his hand to signal him to stop talking, turned around and invited him into the village.

"Alas, I am narrow-minded and rigid, so I shouldn't dwell on the past. But my gratitude is genuine, and it is empty words. This feeling will be reflected in the aftermath!"

Li Mu said quickly, expressing his gratitude to Li Tai.

It's no wonder that he made such a gesture. The position of governor of a state is high and powerful, so it's not something you can do just because you want to. Although Li Muzhi has life-saving feelings for Yu Wentai and is his absolute confidant, there is still a hurdle in terms of qualifications and ability to leave the town. It is hard to say when this step will be taken.

The governor of a state was in charge of military affairs and was named Fang Bo. This was also an iconic resume of a strong minister and general. Even if Li Mu enjoys great favor, if he does not have such a resume, there will not be much room for advancement in his official career.

Although their family has three heroes, the eldest brother Li Xian is in his hometown in Yuanzhou, the second brother Li Yuan is guarding the front line in western Henan, and Li Mu is a close military attaché for the Taiwan government. They have both internal and external positions, but things have happened recently. Some transformations.

Not long ago, Daxingtai recalled Cai You, who was guarding the east, and transferred him to the governor of Yuanzhou, replacing Li Xian. Although this cannot be said to be a suppression of the Li family, it also hints that the Li family's basic power in Yuanzhou is too strong and needs to be slightly balanced.

The Li family always wants to respond to this. The best way is undoubtedly to transfer some of the local people to show that they have no intention of separatizing Yuanzhou.

However, Yizhou, where Li Yuan was in charge, was too far away from his hometown, and the powerful people in Yuzhou also had their own spheres of influence. If there was no war, the masses would inevitably become suspicious if they rashly increased the number of troops stationed in the army.

At this time, Li Mu was appointed as the governor of Dongxia Prefecture, which gave the rural tribe an excellent place to settle down. They did not have to occupy the countryside to attract attention, nor did they have to go far away to be sheltered by others.

Dongxia Prefecture has severe Hu shortages and almost no order. It may still be a dangerous place for others, but the Li family was originally a powerful person in Yuanzhou with many clans. Gaoping Town, where he lived for a long time, was also a place where Hus gathered together. With these Hus, Has rich experience in dealing with departments.

Moreover, the local Jihu forces in Dongxia Prefecture suffered heavy losses one after another. After Li Mu became the governor of Dongxia Prefecture, he could also transfer some of the Hu tribes from Yuanzhou to other places and open up new areas of power and influence in Beizhou.

In addition, Li Mu's appointment as Dongxia Prefecture was recommended by Li Tai, a direct member of the Li family in Longxi, so it was full of goodwill. No wonder Li Mu was so excited.

After entering the village, Li Mu saw Li Tun and others who were still transferring ordnances with the people of Li Taizhuang. Seeing so many armored weapons, Li Mu couldn't help but be curious, and asked: "Why did Langjunzhuang purchase such weapons?" Duo Jia Dao?"

After hearing this, Li Tai smiled and said: "During the White Water Parade before, the Lord asked me to build three defense cities along the Luoshui River to prepare troops to guard against bandits. Gu Gukaifu knew that I was weak, so he gave these armored horses and equipment to me. Help business.”

After Li Mu heard this, he immediately showed a look of shock. He carefully looked at the sophisticated armor and horse weapons, and said with half envy and half suspicion: "All the things here are gifts from Dugu Kaifu? I have heard that Dugu He has the reputation of being the founder of the mansion, but he never expected that he would be so deeply in love with his husband..."

"It's also Aiwujiwu. I used to be favored and supported by my late Grand Master Heba. Because of my old friendship, Dugu Kaifu also gave me kindness and charity. Although I felt ashamed, but the money was really tight, I accepted it with all my heart and heart. Thank you for your gratitude!”

Li Tai spoke again, his gratitude was beyond words, and he gave Li Mu a wink from time to time. Look at how kind and kind Dugu Xin is and has given me such a great help. Don't talk nice but don't mean what you say. I'll take whatever you give me, no choice!

After hearing this, Li Mu sighed again. He had been in command of the Sixth Army of Taifu for a long time and had seen a lot of armor, horses, weapons and staffs, but none of them belonged to him.

When he saw Li Tai receiving hundreds of people's well-equipped weapons as gifts at once, he felt envious and greedy in his heart. He also realized that he was a little embarrassed to come to the door empty-handed to thank him.

However, he was the youngest in the household, and had little involvement or control over the property. For a while, he did not dare to make any promises lightly, and only kept this matter secretly in his heart.

Li Tai originally wanted to stay with Li Tun and others to entertain him with wine and food, but when Li Tun saw that he had a visitor coming, he said that he wanted to return to resume his duties, so he led his troops to leave.

After receiving such a great gift, Li Tai couldn't express his feelings, so he went into the warehouse to sort through it, and bought some goods produced in the factory as gifts, and sent them to Dugu Xin's home.

After finishing these tasks, Li Tai returned to the central hall to entertain Li Mu.

Li Mu felt a little embarrassed and felt a little restless in the hall. When he saw Li Taixing entering, he quickly stood up, pointed at the papers piled up on Li Tai's desk and said with a smile: "Lang Jun is really He is diligent and never forgets to handle affairs even when he is living in Yiran. No wonder he is outstanding in everything he does and is a leader among his peers! "

"It is the duty of a humble person to live up to one's favor, and it is not worth boasting about."

After hearing this, Li Tai smiled and motioned for Li Mu to take a seat. He also sat down, raised his hand to put away the papers, and then said: "But Mr. Wu An misunderstood the words on the desk, and they are not related to any affairs. Mr. Changle I don't dare to live up to this entrustment. I arrange my studies every day and take a look at the case at my leisure today. "

"So that's it..."

After Li Mu heard this, he smiled awkwardly, but then he showed a thoughtful expression and asked: "So it turns out that Lang Junzhuang also lectures to the younger generation? The famous family is famous for their knowledge and is well-known in the world. Duke Changle sent his son to This can be said to be very clever!”

"Learning helps to develop wisdom and know etiquette, but to be able to achieve these two things is not to say that learning is microscopic. I am just a junior and a latecomer in the world. I have a deep family background and have not learned anything. I dare not call others a role model, but I have Those who are kind to you should follow the instructions of others and do your best to teach them well.”

Li Tai replied casually, motioning to the door servant to put away the test papers of Shu Feng, then looked at Li Mu and said with a smile: "Now that Mr. Wu An has been appointed, when will you plan to go to town?"

Li Mu put away his thoughts, pondered for a while and then replied: "I know that there is a lot of wilderness in Dongxia Prefecture. Since I have been appointed, the sooner I go to the town, the better. However, the Lord is still patrolling the river defense, and there are still things to do now. Some deliveries have not yet been decided. Before I ask for orders, I would also like to ask Mr. Lang about the situation there. He should not be able to go to town until a few months later."

When Li Tai heard this, he felt that he had not chosen the wrong partner. At least Li Mu would come and ask how to cooperate with him before taking office. If it were another North Town military leader with more seniority, they might not care what they think.

Li Tai then recounted what he had seen and heard in northern Shaanxi, and said that the troops from Beihua Prefecture and Xia Prefecture were still encircling and suppressing Jihu in Dongxia Prefecture. It's okay if Li Mu arrives a little late, so there won't be any dispute between them.

Although everyone is working for the imperial court, these warriors and warriors dare to fight in front of the Daxingtai even if the wine is good. If there is a dispute involving specific interests, it may be necessary to have a general outside and the emperor's order. No more.

Li Tai's main task in the short term was to expand the armed forces of his subordinate township regiments and to wipe out the bandits in the lower reaches of Luoshui River. Before building Baishui, he did not have much time and energy to invest in Dongxia Prefecture.

However, since Li Mu came to ask, he had to delineate each other's scope of authority, so he talked about his plan to build a canal between Luoshui and Kulichuan.

The military and political power of Dongxia Prefecture naturally belongs to Li Mu, the official governor, but the canal construction project does not require the governor's office to be responsible. The corresponding channel management and the resulting profit returns naturally belong to the Dushui Administration Office.

Li Mu himself lacked experience in running a political party and was not entangled in this issue. When Li Tai raised it, he nodded and agreed.

Kulichuan is originally the boundary river between Beihua Prefecture and Dongxia Prefecture. If he wants to intervene in direct management, his authority will inevitably cause friction and conflict with some Hui from Beihua Prefecture. With Li Tai as a buffer, it is also good for each other. A good thing.

Once this aspect is finalized, there is nothing else that needs further discussion. The governance foundation of Dongxia Prefecture is really poor. Most of the counties and counties were established by overseas Chinese, and there are almost no local residents.

Li Tai did not plan to bring Mao Shijian and others who stayed in King Hao Ren's fortress back for the time being. After the construction of the canal was completed, he planned to place another defensive city there.

Through the Kuli River, he can extend his influence directly to the vicinity of the Yellow River, and perhaps have some friendly discussions with the Luliang Mountain forces on the other side of the river. Even if you have the chance, cross the river and climb the Luliang Mountains, go to the Jinyang City where Big Brother He Liuhun lives, and sing the song "Chilechuan".
